How am I wrong? Do you really want people to have to live under the rule of a bunch of lunatics that dont even think a woman is worth an education
and they threaten to kill little girls for trying to better themselves? Name one thing that would be good about being ruled by the Taliban.

The problem with some muslims (not all), is that they live according to ancient traditions of their religious memory. Religions have been created to
better dominate and control the masses. Often, we are unable to understand certain beliefs from other cultures and beliefs systems, and they're not
always what we'd expect as "normality".

I do agree however, that all humans should be treated equally, no matter what their gender or race is. Education is very important, for everyone. It
should become a universal right.

But, on this planet, humans have a problem. They live by some code that lets emotions get in the way of their daily lives. That code is what some
would call "polarity of consciousness". That polarity stems from thousands of years of manipulations and influences, that prevents humans from
evolving to higher states of consciousness. We need to realize that humans must achieve perfect balance between their soul, mind and spirit. This
perfect alignment is the only way to achieve conciousness.

As long as humans will rely on the memory of their own race, they will continue involving instead of evolving.

You are doing the very same thing they are.

I agree. I am doing the same thing that they are. This is how the world works. They have an ideology that I disagree with and they will refuse to
change it. I have an ideology that they disagree with and I refuse to change it. Somebody has to come out on top, and I dont see how it would be
good to live under the Law based on a strict understanding of the Koran. So if we want to let people live their lives without being beaten down by a
bunch of lunatics then we should do whatever is necessary to remove them from power and to keep them from getting more power.

I don’t understand why the Arab haters insist on blaming the world’s woes on Arabs, people that post these things really mean that we should
destroy all Arabs and thus the nut jobs use that to grow their ranks.

If I were an Arab I would be worried, when Jews do this sort of thing people like you are nowhere to be found, I wonder why?

to the people criticizing the member who started this thread- all he is saying is that islamic EXTREMIST should be destroyed. Notice he is not saying
that all muslims must be destroyed, or that Islam is an evil religion that needs to be eradicated. He is criticizing the extremist of the group; not
the GROUP as a whole.

It's like criticizing christian extremist for beating up homosexuals, and then get accused of spilling hatred over all christians. Although
destroying the extremists is a little too much, we can all agree that the extremists really are a problem for the progress of that nation.

and the OP is right, Islam as a whole is a religion that needs to become a little more flexible for our changing times. Christianity and Judaism are
successful these days because they have somewhat changed the rules their followers can live by. They are not as oppressive as they used to be and that
is why so many people change to those religions.

I'm an atheist who dislikes all religions, but even I can see that Islam has not changed compared to the other two abrahamic religions. What needs to
be done is to try to reason with the extremist and make them change their ways (if possible). Islam would not be demonized by so many religions if
only they changed some of their rules like the christians did.
in fact, Islam could gain even more followers if it allowed women to gain equal footing with men and if the people under this religion could have more
freedom to do whatever they pleased.

Thanks for your very clear understanding of my point. I do agree that if by talking we can get them to change their views then that would be best.
However, if talks fail they must be contained or destroyed in order to prevent them from spreading into other countries.

Okay, Grapes, now that I've had my nightly snarky fix sated, I have to tell you...... your thread would've been better received without the
sensationalized title. Destroy? Where does a group/government/culture draw the line at who crosses into the extremist zone?

I'd hope that we're all better than that. If a person wants to live within such laws and cultural rules, they can go to such a place. I agree
that it's unfortunate for those born into the "life", but that's only my own perspective, having been born into the American culture.

I am against changing current laws to allow wiggle room for such practices in nations that don't already do so. If current legislation is observed
and enforced -- at least in the U.S. -- then it's a nonissue.

So you are saying that a group of people that would rather kill little girls than give them an education is not extreme. How is that not totally
extreme. Look their are good, peace loving Muslims out there, but when you start holding back your entire society to the point that thier lives
resemble something from the Dark Ages, then you are an extremist.
